Care Ministries
About
WE ARE ALL CALLED TO CARE FOR OTHERS.
Care is an important for our congregation and is a part of all of our ministries at First Presbyterian Asheville. From lending a listening ear over coffee after worship, to praying in a group, or a visit by one of our pastors, deacons, or elders, care is a key way to share the love of God with others.
Please let the church office know about illnesses, hospitalizations, and other life challenges.
Deacons
Our deacons have several key ministries to support the care of our congregation.
You do not need to be a deacon to be on one of these teams. Please reach out if you would like more information on being on one of these teams.
TheVisitation Team delivers flowers from our services and visits with people.
